a day goes by ... my notebook awaits with empty blank pages

a week goes by ...  i write nothing more than a grocery list

a month goes by ... i'm out of practice and it's just hard to write


time goes by quickly ... i must try to slow down time


a day goes by ... i notice moments to cherish in my notebook

a week goes by ... i collect memories and practice the craft of writing

a month goes by ... i write with ease with continued practice

That is why I had to participate in this event!  Cathy and Mandy are hosting August 10 for 10: The second annual picture book event.  They suggested to pick the 10 picture books that I can't live without in my classroom and library.  This is quite an undertaking, but I've got my favorites to share -- as of now -- in no particular order.

It's that time of year again! Cathy and I have finally selected our #cyberPD book for our summer learning. It's never an easy decision. 

Conversations go back and forth. 
Ideas fly. 
Standards are high. 
Book stacks full of possibilities are higher. 
And then ... it happens. 
The just right book emerges from the stacks.

The book selection is important, but what makes this PD event truly successful are the amazing teachers and educators across the globe that support each other through the learning process.
